Doug Kacena, artist and owner of the Denver-based art gallery K Contemporary, hosts Art Bound, a podcast focused on fearless and candid artist-to-artist conversations. The podcast, which launched in October of this year, is featuring the following three episodes throughout Wednesdays in December.

Wednesday, December 2
Episode 6, “Art in the Digital Age,” with Dina Brodsky and Annie Phillips

Wednesday, December 16
Episode 7, “Balancing Art and Life,” with Kuzana Ogg and Monique Crine

Wednesday, December 30
Bonus Episode, “The Value of Art,” with Hunt Slonem"

"The purpose of the Art Bound podcast is to create a space for passionate and intimate dialogue with working artists, deconstructing the myths and misconceptions of the art world and what it really means to live the artist’s life,” said Kacena. “We hope fellow artists will listen in their studios and beyond, as they create or recharge, connecting to each other’s common experiences, advancing the conversation and ideas around navigating our lives and careers as artists.”

Past episodes include “Art & the Fear of Failure”(with Daisy Patton & Quang Ho), “The Myth of the Starving Artist” (with Nina Tichava & Carl Ortman), “The Tipping Point” (with Jonathan Saiz & Ron Hicks), “Those Who Can, Teach, Sharing the Joy of Art” (with Kristy Gordon & Trey Egan), and “Free Your Art, Experimenting with Medium and Meaning” (with Suchitra Mattai & Taylor White).

Episodes can be found on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google and Amazon Music. Follow the podcast on social media with the hashtag #ArtBoundPodcast.

K Contemporary Looks to the Possibilities of 2021 with December Exhibitions “Possibilities” encouraging art experiences through commissioned art and “As of Now III” provides insight into artists’ directions in the coming year. “Possibilities” will feature a number of blank canvases with the purpose to encourage visitors to commission unique artworks purchased alongside special artist-curated experiences. Artists include Andrew Jensdotter, Daisy Patton, Jonathan Saiz and Hunt Slonem, along with other gallery artists. Examples of experiences include a dinner with the artist, studio visits, and home visits where the artists might search for inspiration from treasured objects. All experiences will be held in-person or virtually, depending on current health regulations and COVID-19 status. “As of Now III” is a group exhibition celebrating K Contemporary’s three-year anniversary, featuring works by the gallery’s represented artists, giving insight into what the artists have been working on and a sneak peek into some of the new directions to come in 2021.
